How to find every collectible in Luna Abyss
Luna Abyss hides 116 collectibles across its six chapters, and missing even one can mean replaying entire sections. The good news is that nothing is permanently missable. The Select Level option in the menu lets you replay any sub-chapter, and as long as you reach a checkpoint and use Exit Level Select after grabbing a collectible, it saves and counts toward your total. That single system removes most of the stress from completion runs.
The 116 total breaks down into four categories: 87 Lore Entries, 15 Drift Crystals, 10 Health Increases, and 4 Weapon Upgrades. Weapons and skills are story-tied and unmissable, so this guide focuses entirely on the four collectible types above.
The in-game collectible counters for some sub-chapters display slightly inaccurate numbers, and certain collectibles appear earlier than the chapter they count toward. If your in-game count looks off, trust this guide over the HUD.

What are the four collectible types?
Before diving chapter by chapter, here is a quick breakdown of what you are hunting and why each type matters:
Drift Crystals are the easiest to miss on a first run because they require shooting rather than just walking over them. Any red crystal you spot off the main path is almost certainly one of the 15.
Chapter 1 collectibles
Sorrow Canyon (7 collectibles)
Lore Entry #1 (Memory - Entry #543 - The Last Stand) sits against the door right at the chapter's opening. Hard to walk past.
Lore Entry #2 (Memory - Entry #2 - Help Us) appears in plain sight along the main path shortly after a shadow runs across the area when you emerge from a pipe.
Lore Entry #3 (Character - The Waif) requires a small detour. After speaking to the Waif NPC, go through the metal door with the red light beside it and cross the pipes ahead. On the left, a set of pipes forms a ramp leading down to the collectible.
Drift Crystal #1 sits at the bottom of a pipe on the left side after you learn to crouch. Follow the path right along the pipes, jump the moving platform, and at the top take the pipe leading down-left. Shoot the red crystal.
Lore Entry #4 (Monsters - Mother - Eyes) is on a pipe walkway after the first purple lasers. Use the pipes on the right to jump across.
Lore Entry #5 (Memory - Entry #56743 - Crystalisation) is directly to the left of the Shield Breaker Shotgun.
Health Increase #1 comes after a glitch message interrupts the screen. Fight enemies in the room with the upper-level checkpoint, then look for a yellow chest just past that checkpoint. Shoot the orb to open it.
Lore Entry #6 (Memory - Entry 1031 - The One Who Answers) is in the large circular room after the first boss. Use the jump pad in the center to reach the upper level.
Warden's Regret (8 collectibles)
Drift Crystal #2 hides behind red-crystal-covered pipes on the far left side of the opening checkpoint room.
Health Increase #2 is through a small crouchable gap to the right of a barrier-blocked door in the next room.
Lore Entry #7 (Memory - Entry #092 - Hidden) is on a corpse beneath the stairs in the room where you fall after the blue barrier door. Do not drop down the red hole yet.
Lore Entry #8 (Memory - Entry #60806 - The Calling) is on a corpse near a column in the large room with the massive red window, reached after a long pipe drop.
Lore Entry #9 (Character - Urien Caldecott) requires using the Watcher Neural Patterns skill on a large circular structure. About halfway up, after dashing to a Watcher above a metal grate and shooting a blue switch to spawn another Watcher, use the newly spawned Watcher to reach the middle platform.
Lore Entry #10 (Monsters - Watchers) appears after returning to the start-of-area checkpoint and crossing the gap using Watchers. After a massive pipe with shootable blobs and a checkpoint by a large fan, jump to a Watcher, use a jump pad to reach another, then look left instead of continuing toward the wall pipe.
Lore Entry #11 (Memory - Entry #877 - The Giant) is behind you after falling into a large pipe where you must dash to a Watcher through metal bars. Turn around before dashing.
Health Increase #3 is inside a pipe on the right side after a large pipe with four spinning purple lasers. Dash from the Watcher to reach it.
Lore Entry #12 (Memory - Entry #4823 - F.A.T.E Warden) is on the ground just before a jump pad, inside the pipe to the right of a checkpoint with metal bars on its left.
Lore Entry #13 (Character - Ellie) is visible on the right side of a thin corridor lined with square rocks, just before the next pipe, after riding the lift with Ellie.
Lore Entry #14 (Memory - Entry #606 - Burn) is near a corpse close to the bright light at the far end of the massive debris-filled room near the end of the level.
